Google Feed API Help

I'm working with the Google Feed Api and made a search form to search for rss feeds.

   <script src="//www.google.com/jsapi?key=AIzaSyAWetejqPLSq_LiLzg2jeJ98QWGiF8ocgQ" type="text/javascript"></script>
   <script type="text/javascript">
   /*
   *  How to find a feed based on a query.
   */

   google.load("feeds", "1");

   function OnLoad() {
     // Query for president feeds on cnn.com
     var query = "<?= $searchfor ?>";
     google.feeds.findFeeds(query, findDone);
   }

   function findDone(result) {
     // Make sure we didn't get an error.
     if (!result.error) {
       // Get content div
       var content = document.getElementById('content');
       var html = '';

       // Loop through the results and print out the title of the feed and link to
       // the url.
       for (var i = 0; i < result.entries.length; i++) {
         var entry = result.entries[i];
         html += '<p><a href="' + entry.url + '">' + entry.title + '</a></p>';
       }
       content.innerHTML = html;
     }
   }

   google.setOnLoadCallback(OnLoad);
   </script>
 </head>
 <body style="font-family: Arial;border: 0 none;">

 <form action="play.php" method="POST" /> 
 Query: <input type="text" name="searchfor" />
 <input type="submit" name="search" />
 </form>

 <?php

if (isset($_POST['search'])) { 

$searchfor = $_POST['searchfor'];

if (empty($searchfor)) {
echo"No text entered.";
} else {

echo'<div id="content">Loading...</div>';

   }

   }
   ?>

 </body>
</html>

 

This is the code I have but when I search for something e.g. bbc news the text "Loading..." appears and it doesn't show any rss feeds. What is wrong???
